problem with those frameworks that "just works" is that they get old pretty darn fast.

it handles all your sql and auth cookies? too bad now there's an easy way every script kiddie can now login as admin or guess cookies without the security header du jour.

It's all nice and all when it's being actively updated. But arc, rails, phoenix-ecto, node/react, drupal, spring, etc it all get old pretty soon when the core maintainers loose focus, and then instead of just keeping an eye on the latest best practices and implementing it yourself, you have to dive deep down into years of feature creep and bad coding practices to do the little thing you need to keep things going.
